What blogs are

Blogs are a good place for teams to communicate and report to each other on the parts of the project that are linear or follow a story arc. oh, i've solved this that we started on working on back there. they can mark milestones in real time. they need to be linked, when they do that, with structured data, a database that also captures relationship data between entities and people.

For capturing a narrative on a project, a story arc, a set of milestones set against a larger framework blogs are better than email. blogs as a communications tool for a team. the right tool for a certain part of the process. the fact that xigi got stuck in the blog is not a surprise. but the blog does need to be separated from structured data. both should be connected to higher level mapping.

Blogs don't do large framework; they are a serial archive of a journey; they reveal process but are not the map).
